About

Sturman & Co.

Our founder Bess Sturman established the studio in 2011 to offer a contemporary design service underpinned by the unique professional skills she had honed in her previous corporate and legal careers. She has since overseen the growth of the business from the one-woman-home-based practice that designed the award-winning Ilkley Cinema in 2015, to the multi-disciplinary team based in our Ilkley studio today.

​

We work closely with a strong network of architects, engineers, makers and designers who all support Bess in providing exceptional design and service to our clients.

PROJECTS

The complete renovation of an historic Yorkshire home, designed and implemented for our client in 2018.

LOCATION/ Middleton

​

WOODLAND RETREAT

​

This 1970s dormer bungalow enjoyed a wonderful private location, but it was tired and uninspiring inside. Bess redesigned the layout for light, colour and views.

LOCATION/ Ilkley Moor

​

GRADE II LISTED COUNTRY HOUSE

​

This stunning country house had stayed in the same family for generations and was bought by our clients in a tired state. They could see the potential and asked us to create a comfortable and relaxed interior for them in this whole-house restoration project.

LOCATION / Burley-in-Wharfedale

​

NEARLY NEW FAMILY HOME

​

Our clients wanted a beautiful space for socialising and family eating to replace the outdated kitchen they had inherited. They approached us to help after seeing what Bess had done with the same space next door.

LOCATION / Ilkley

​

ILKLEY CINEMA

​

Our client was keen to bring something really special to the people of Ilkley with the opening of Europe’s smallest 4K cinema, designed by Bess in 2015.
